GENESIS - Land Of Confusion lyrics

rate me

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams<br>Been haunted by a million screams<br>But I can hear the marching feet<br>They're moving into the street.<br><br>Now did you read the news today<br>They say the danger's gone away<br>But I can see the fire's still alight<br>There burning into the night.<br><br>There's too many men<br>Too many people<br>Making too many problems<br>And not much love to go round<br>Can't you see<br>This is a land of confusion.<br><br>This is the world we live in<br>And these are the hands we're given<br>Use them and let's start trying<br>To make it a place worth living in.<br><br>Ooh superman where are you now<br>When everything's gone wrong somehow<br>The men of steel, the men of power<br>Are losing control by the hour.<br><br>This is the time<br>This is the place<br>So we look for the future<br>But there's not much love to go round<br>Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.<br><br>This is the world we live in<br>And these are the hands we're given<br>Use them and let's start trying<br>To make it a place worth living in.<br><br>I remember long ago -<br>Ooh when the sun was shining<br>Yes and the stars were bright<br>All through the night<br>And the sound of your laughter<br>As I held you tight<br>So long ago -<br><br>I won't be coming home tonight<br>My generation will put it right<br>We're not just making promises<br>That we know, we'll never keep.<br><br>Too many men<br>There's too many people<br>Making too many problems<br>And not much love to go round<br>Can't you see<br>This is a land of confusion.<br><br>Now this is the world we live in<br>And these are the hands we're given<br>Use them and let's start trying<br>To make it a place worth fighting for.<br><br>This is the world we live in<br>And these are the names we're given<br>Stand up and let's start showing<br>Just where our lives are going to.
